Hey guys

Well iv done the basics as listed in my sig and just wanted some input on what I can do next to squeeze a little more out of the car? I was thinking about moving into the cosmetics like body kits and rims but I like the look of the standard clean GTT look.

So apart from opening her up what else can be done?

Mods so far is:

HIGH FLOW TURBO 16PSI BOOST

FMIC

HKS HIGH FLOW FUEL RAIL

BOSCH FUEL PUMP

HKS INTAKE/EXHAUST CAM GEAR

470cc

TURBO BACK EXHAUST

APEXI PFC

Sorry if this is a FAQ but ye new to the world or powarrrrrr :huh:

Ta

Ash

i think it's be a question for the guy that tuned to say what was holding you back, id say save up for a new turbo tho, cam as well, depending on what cams depends where you wanna make more power

Hey ash, got some pics of your ride up buddy?

Sounds like you're setup for decent power on the street, have you done any suspension/brake modifications? How about sydneykid's suspension setup for your R34.. including LCA, camber kits, subframe alignment kit, struts etc. Perhaps get in on the R34 slotted/groove rotors with EBC green pads for some brake work. Hopefully that'll let your car rip through those hills.

Cosmetic wise, if you want to enhance the standard lines of your 34.. perhaps an East Bear lip and perhaps rear diffuser? That'd set it totally off with the right set of rims.

well nothing was holding the tuner back apart from me being paranoid that i want it all safe ra ra ra. might take it back to get a re tune done and ye tell them to go nuts with it lol. but just wanted to know what else can i pretty much add as a bolt on or upgrade without opening her up much. would cams with standered internals make any difference? or is replacing cams classed as a not a standered internal anymore???

howie iv already got racelogic coilovers and have been playing around with that to get a perfect balance for cornering and traction. brakes are standered calipers with bendix pads and they stop the car up niceley. will be upgrading lines though as i wanna hit the tracks with this and i dotnt hink standered brake lines would be loving the temp. apart from that iw as thinking brembos but i dont think ill be needing that till i eventually hit the 300's at the rears. but i will be adding other bits

so handling im happy with at the moment cause im slowley getting my head around that but its performance that when i come upto and hit a brick wall cause i dont know much about it, apart from handing my CC over and go "here now make it fast" lol. but i want to learn and do things to it by knowing whats going on and how its going to benefit ra ra ra.

i will be speaking to the tuners also but most of the time they try pushing in for the big things by suggesting rebuild with forged parts. which iw ill do but not while the motor is still ticking. thats something that will be done when she goes boom.

as for pics howie only pic i have is on the r34 pic thread.

Im running similar setup with cams (which i highly recommend) and hitting 260rwkw with 270 hopefully being extracted after the last tune.

IMO best mod I did was Jap rims, it turned the car to dull and boring off boost to a monster with wheel spin at lights and smoke shows in launching not to mention crazy lighting fast accleration (yes all i did was change wheel, 9kg cant hurt!)

I will be hitting up a body kit .. thanks to a bonus from work :D make the car look alot meaner. Then I will sit back and enjoy it until I blow the motor and rebuild it with a to4z :blush: or buy a GTR tough one!!

You car seems to be well thought out, the only is get rid of the china coil-overs and fit something decent, the racelogic stuff is junk... a few of the drift cars sponsorsed by racelogic dont even run them. :blush: ive played with them in customers cars and cant stand them, G4 or k-sport.

Forget the rebuild the R34 GTT donk can play all day @ HIGH 200rwkw's and 17-18psi if tuned well.

they are powerflow injectors http://www.powerflowinjection.com/

a bit of a pain to deal with as i had a few problems but apart from that they are ok but im upgrading them to 700cc as i got a good deal so mine will be up for sale soon if your interested. its done 1700ks on the injectors.

so decided on my next step

EBC, poncams as they seem like the way to go and bigger injectors and oil cooler and tune. that should keep it as a good streeter and a noob track car lol

water meth injection ill read into that as ye dont know much about that. but ye thanks guys

Hi

i am currently in the process of doing the exact same upgrade to my rb25 neo motor... i just got off the phone from a bloke about poncams and he seems to believe that there is better hp gains than spending money on tomei poncams and suggested to keep the standard ones... however my engine tuner suggested i upgrade them... because the gtt motors have vvti the performance shop bloke (not the tuner) said that you will lose the vvti feel of the motor... i was under the impression that upgrading these cams improves the power and response of the motor overall... would you need new cam gears as well to support the new cams?? sorry for hijacking the thread but i am seeking very similar advice and other owners experience on this upgrade

E85 not sure as yet.

from what i have read and heard (havent experianced it myself) pon cams are a worth while upgrade and with supporting mods gains are really good. as for cam gears id imagine you would need to change them but i could be wrong.

for the time being iv put engine mods on hold till may but with the current tune car is running really really really good.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
